Charges against the mother are “certainly a possibility,” he added.
The teacher, later identified as 26-year-old Abigail “Abby” Zwerner, was injured and transported to a hospital, where she’s currently listed in stable condition.Monday, Drew confirmed the child took the gun out of his backpack, pointed it at the teacher and fired a round. “There was no physical struggle no fight,” he said.
